Greg Elifritz's Latest Weekend Knowledge Dump

 The latest Weekend Knowledge Dump from Active Response Training has links to some important articles for the armed citizen including:

• "Giving Guns as Gifts: Know the Law." The basic advice here is to use a gift card. Otherwise, be aware of federal, state, and local laws governing shipping and transfer of firearms, noting that some states require even gifts must be transferred via an FFL, as well as the laws on who can lawfully possess a firearm.
  
• "How To Not Mistake Your Loved One As A Bad Guy And Then Shoot Them." Basic points raised are to make sure you lock up your home, use lights so you can identify a potential intruder, use verbal commends to identify a potential intruder and de-escalate.
  

There are a lot more, but those seem the most important especially now that we are in the Holiday Season and may be looking at gifting firearms, or have guests staying at our homes or potentially rolling into town late at night.
